Transcript:
Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting. So many factors are at play. So, how can you make sure that you make a good sustainability decision? Like with many other things, tools and frameworks can be very helpful. Here are three strategic questions to help you make good sustainability decisions. We will go through them and apply them to a real life example. This is also part of the D step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous video.
Question number 1: Is it a move in the right direction? Is this decision going to take us closer to where we want to be? Closer to our vision? Here is an example: as it prepared to host the winter Olympic games in 2010, the town of Whistler (Canada) had to face an increasing energy demand. The heating needs had long been provided PRIMARILY by propane delivered by rail and trucks and distributed by pipes. Knowing that the existing propane system had reached its capacity, the municipality turned to natural gas provider Terasen Inc. for suggestions. Answering this first question, Whistler looked at the extent to which bringing a high-pressure natural gas pipeline (for a cost of approximatively 43 million dollars amortized over 50 years) would be aligned with their Whistler 2020 plan for a long term sustainable future, defined by the 4 system conditions for sustainability (watch the video linked and in the description for a reminder). Converting from propane to natural gas would provide a 15% reduction on greenhouse gas emissions which would also reduce contribution to the first and second system conditions. Natural gas can also be used for vehicles. Building the pipeline while building the road was an opportunity to limit the degradation of nature by physical means (third system condition). Terasen suggested a bigger, lower-pressure pipeline so it could be installed within the highway shoulder, saving costs while meeting the legal requirements and helping Whistler make sure that the project was well aligned with their social sustainability goals (fourth system condition). The revised project was going in the right direction according to the Whistler 2020 plan. It is important to have a robust and ambitious sustainability vision for this question to be a powerful way to make good sustainability decisions.”
Question number 2: Is it a flexible platform? We are not going to reach sustainability over night. When we take action, we need to make sure that we are not going to lock ourselves into a dead end. We need to make decisions that provide enough flexibility so we can build upon them and allow for future opportunities and technologies that might not be known yet. In the case of Whistler, natural gas being a fossil fuel and therefore a finite resource, they found that they didn’t want to lock themselves into a 50 years amortization period. They asked Terasen to revise their proposal. The revised project decreased the capacity of the pipeline by half and forced Whistler to make a conscious decision to look into alternative energy systems. They decided to put in place geothermal heating and to use natural gas only as a backup system to be used during peak hours.
Question number 3: Does it provide a good return on investment? It does not do anybody any good if an organization trying to become sustainable goes bankrupt. It is critical that every decision made provides a good return on investment. In the case of Whistler, going with a lower pressure pipeline and decreasing its capacity by half reduced the project cost by about 10 million dollars. This made it possible for Terasen to charge customers rates that were competitive with electricity while providing a good return of investment for Terasen and for the community of Whistler.

Sustainable development is the organizing principle for sustaining finite resources necessary to provide for the needs of future generations of life on the planet. It is a process that envisions a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use continue to meet human needs without undermining the "integrity, stability and beauty" of natural biotic systems.

Definition

Sustainability can be defined as the practice of reserving resources for future generation without any harm to the nature and other components of it . Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social, political, and economic challenges faced by humanity. Sustainability science is the study of the concepts of sustainable development and environmental science. There is an additional focus on the present generations' responsibility to regenerate, maintain and improve planetary resources for use by future generations.

Economics

The term economics comes from the Ancient Greekοἰκονομία from οἶκος (oikos, "house") and νόμος (nomos, "custom" or "law"), hence "rules of the house (hold for good management)". 'Political economy' was the earlier name for the subject, but economists in the late 19th century suggested "economics" as a shorter term for "economic science" to establish itself as a separate discipline outside of political science and other social sciences.

Economics focuses on the behavior and interactions of economic agents and how economies work. Consistent with this focus, primary textbooks often distinguish between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics examines the behavior of basic elements in the economy, including individual agents and markets, their interactions, and the outcomes of interactions. Individual agents may include, for example, households, firms, buyers, and sellers. Macroeconomics analyzes the entire economy (meaning aggregated production, consumption, savings, and investment) and issues affecting it, including unemployment of resources (labor, capital, and land), inflation, economic growth, and the public policies that address these issues (monetary, fiscal, and other policies).

Sustainable Nantucket is a forward-thinking non-profit organization that cultivates a healthy community—quite literally—for island residents. They aim to create an engaged local community because they know that leads directly to a healthy island economy. If you teach people how to grow food close to home, you create an island that isn’t as dependent on the mainland. That’s an island that can support itself by using its own farms, markets, and economy to motivate its own farms, markets and economy; creating a beautiful cycle of sustainability.

What Christmas Tree is More Sustainable?

Which tree is more eco friendly? Which tree is better for the environment?
According to the National Christmas Tree Association last year 27.4 million American households went for real trees and 18.6 million went for fake.
Environmental reasons are often mentioned as reason to pick a reusable Christmas tree over chopping down a real one, but the reality isn’t so clear.
So the question remains, which Christmas tree is the better option?
In this video, we will discuss the environmental concerns of a real tree, as well as the inputs required for a fake (artificial) Christmas tree.
LMK - which one would you choose?

Real Prepper - Sustainable Farming - Early Bird Farm Hodges SC

If you really want to be a prepper you better know how to raise, grow and harvest food and water. I thought a visit to a totally self sustaining farm [Early BirdFarm - HodgesCorner SC] would be the best way to prep in place. This is a farm that raises animals, grows crops in the grown, hydroponically, aquaponics, and has a method of harvesting all (animals and plants). PaulColeman owner of Early Bird Farm is an extremely interesting farmer and knowledgeable. He is giving classes at Cultivate in Greenville SC in March here is a link ( https://www.facebook.com/events/18409... ) to the schedule of events. The price is extremely affordable. If you want to learn how to be self sustainable this is where you should start. If you're going to do it (be self reliant) learn how to do it right! I am visiting people like Paul because I have a little mini farm (shown in the video) that I had closed down a couple of years ago....and am trying to get it back up and going. Love gardening, farming, raising animals and harvesting. You should know that this it is a lot of work but soooo rewarding!

What Christmas Tree is More Sustainable?

Which tree is more eco friendly? Which tree is better for the environment?
According to the National Christmas Tree Association last year 27.4 million American households went for real trees and 18.6 million went for fake.
Environmental reasons are often mentioned as reason to pick a reusable Christmas tree over chopping down a real one, but the reality isn’t so clear.
So the question remains, which Christmas tree is the better option?
In this video, we will discuss the environmental concerns of a real tree, as well as the inputs required for a fake (artificial) Christmas tree.
LMK - which one would you choose?

Real Prepper - Sustainable Farming - Early Bird Farm Hodges SC

If you really want to be a prepper you better know how to raise, grow and harvest food and water. I thought a visit to a totally self sustaining farm [Early BirdFarm - HodgesCorner SC] would be the best way to prep in place. This is a farm that raises animals, grows crops in the grown, hydroponically, aquaponics, and has a method of harvesting all (animals and plants). PaulColeman owner of Early Bird Farm is an extremely interesting farmer and knowledgeable. He is giving classes at Cultivate in Greenville SC in March here is a link ( https://www.facebook.com/events/18409... ) to the schedule of events. The price is extremely affordable. If you want to learn how to be self sustainable this is where you should start. If you're going to do it (be self reliant) learn how to do it right! I ...

In this video, I present 3 strategic questions to help you make sustainability decision. Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting because so many factors are at play but tools and frameworks can be very helpful. This is part of the D-step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous videos.

Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting. So many factors are at play. So, how can you make sure that you make a good sustainability decision? Like with many other things, tools and frameworks can be very helpful. Here are three strategic questions to help you make good sustainability decisions. We will go through them and apply them to a real life example. This is also part of the D step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous video.
Question number 1: Is it a move in the right direction? Is this decision going to take us closer to where we want to be? Closer to our vision? Here is an example: as it prepared to host the winter Olympic games in 2010, the town of Whistler (Canada) had to face an increasing energy demand. The heating needs had long been provided PRIMARILY by propane delivered by rail and trucks and distributed by pipes. Knowing that the existing propane system had reached its capacity, the municipality turned to natural gas provider Terasen Inc. for suggestions. Answering this first question, Whistler looked at the extent to which bringing a high-pressure natural gas pipeline (for a cost of approximatively 43 million dollars amortized over 50 years) would be aligned with their Whistler 2020 plan for a long term sustainable future, defined by the 4 system conditions for sustainability (watch the video linked and in the description for a reminder). Converting from propane to natural gas would provide a 15% reduction on greenhouse gas emissions which would also reduce contribution to the first and second system conditions. Natural gas can also be used for vehicles. Building the pipeline while building the road was an opportunity to limit the degradation of nature by physical means (third system condition). Terasen suggested a bigger, lower-pressure pipeline so it could be installed within the highway shoulder, saving costs while meeting the legal requirements and helping Whistler make sure that the project was well aligned with their social sustainability goals (fourth system condition). The revised project was going in the right direction according to the Whistler 2020 plan. It is important to have a robust and ambitious sustainability vision for this question to be a powerful way to make good sustainability decisions.”
Question number 2: Is it a flexible platform? We are not going to reach sustainability over night. When we take action, we need to make sure that we are not going to lock ourselves into a dead end. We need to make decisions that provide enough flexibility so we can build upon them and allow for future opportunities and technologies that might not be known yet. In the case of Whistler, natural gas being a fossil fuel and therefore a finite resource, they found that they didn’t want to lock themselves into a 50 years amortization period. They asked Terasen to revise their proposal. The revised project decreased the capacity of the pipeline by half and forced Whistler to make a conscious decision to look into alternative energy systems. They decided to put in place geothermal heating and to use natural gas only as a backup system to be used during peak hours.
Question number 3: Does it provide a good return on investment? It does not do anybody any good if an organization trying to become sustainable goes bankrupt. It is critical that every decision made provides a good return on investment. In the case of Whistler, going with a lower pressure pipeline and decreasing its capacity by half reduced the project cost by about 10 million dollars. This made it possible for Terasen to charge customers rates that were competitive with electricity while providing a good return of investment for Terasen and for the community of Whistler.

In this video, I present 3 strategic questions to help you make sustainability decision. Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting because so many factors are at play but tools and frameworks can be very helpful. This is part of the D-step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous videos.

Sustainable Nantucket is a forward-thinking non-profit organization that cultivates a healthy community—quite literally—for island residents. They aim to create an engaged local community because they know that leads directly to a healthy island economy. If you teach people how to grow food close to home, you create an island that isn’t as dependent on the mainland. That’s an island that can support itself by using its own farms, markets, and economy to motivate its own farms, markets and economy; creating a beautiful cycle of sustainability.

If you really want to be a prepper you better know how to raise, grow and harvest food and water. I thought a visit to a totally self sustaining farm [Early BirdFarm - HodgesCorner SC] would be the best way to prep in place. This is a farm that raises animals, grows crops in the grown, hydroponically, aquaponics, and has a method of harvesting all (animals and plants). PaulColeman owner of Early Bird Farm is an extremely interesting farmer and knowledgeable. He is giving classes at Cultivate in Greenville SC in March here is a link ( https://www.facebook.com/events/18409... ) to the schedule of events. The price is extremely affordable. If you want to learn how to be self sustainable this is where you should start. If you're going to do it (be self reliant) learn how to do it right! I am visiting people like Paul because I have a little mini farm (shown in the video) that I had closed down a couple of years ago....and am trying to get it back up and going. Love gardening, farming, raising animals and harvesting. You should know that this it is a lot of work but soooo rewarding!

If you enjoy learning about new things and places to go in SC upstate area you can follow here on YouTube, Visit me on FaceBook, and check out my blog.

Abstract: Collaborations between academics and practitioners can bring rich opportunities to concurrently advance theory and make practical impacts. However, numerous well-documented barriers hinder such collaborations, yielding limited examples of success and a need for lessons learned to guide future efforts. This talk will cover several collaborative studies in which academics and practitioners teamed up to successfully design and deliver interventions aimed at promoting sustainable behavior in residential settings. Findings advance theory and have practical implications. For instance, one study leveraged smart grid infrastructure as part of an energy reduction intervention. It explores whether a competition-based intervention fosters group cohesion in a group residential setting, as we...

What Christmas Tree is More Sustainable?

Which tree is more eco friendly? Which tree is better for the environment?
According to the National Christmas Tree Association last year 27.4 million American households went for real trees and 18.6 million went for fake.
Environmental reasons are often mentioned as reason to pick a reusable Christmas tree over chopping down a real one, but the reality isn’t so clear.
So the question remains, which Christmas tree is the better option?
In this video, we will discuss the environmental concerns of a real tree, as well as the inputs required for a fake (artificial) Christmas tree.
LMK - which one would you choose?

Spindrift - Real Partnerships: Sustainable Nantucket

Sustainable Nantucket is a forward-thinking non-profit organization that cultivates a healthy community—quite literally—for island residents. They aim to create an engaged local community because they know that leads directly to a healthy island economy. If you teach people how to grow food close to home, you create an island that isn’t as dependent on the mainland. That’s an island that can support itself by using its own farms, markets, and economy to motivate its own farms, markets and economy; creating a beautiful cycle of sustainability.

Real Prepper - Sustainable Farming - Early Bird Farm Hodges SC

If you really want to be a prepper you better know how to raise, grow and harvest food and water. I thought a visit to a totally self sustaining farm [Early BirdFarm - HodgesCorner SC] would be the best way to prep in place. This is a farm that raises animals, grows crops in the grown, hydroponically, aquaponics, and has a method of harvesting all (animals and plants). PaulColeman owner of Early Bird Farm is an extremely interesting farmer and knowledgeable. He is giving classes at Cultivate in Greenville SC in March here is a link ( https://www.facebook.com/events/18409... ) to the schedule of events. The price is extremely affordable. If you want to learn how to be self sustainable this is where you should start. If you're going to do it (be self reliant) learn how to do it right! I ...

Abstract: Collaborations between academics and practitioners can bring rich opportunities to concurrently advance theory and make practical impacts. However, numerous well-documented barriers hinder such collaborations, yielding limited examples of success and a need for lessons learned to guide future efforts. This talk will cover several collaborative studies in which academics and practitioners teamed up to successfully design and deliver interventions aimed at promoting sustainable behavior in residential settings. Findings advance theory and have practical implications. For instance, one study leveraged smart grid infrastructure as part of an energy reduction intervention. It explores whether a competition-based intervention fosters group cohesion in a group residential setting, as well as the influence of changes in group cohesion on energy conservation behaviors. Another study focuses on behavioral spillover, or the phenomenon observed when engaging in an initial target behavior, often the target of a behavioral intervention, is linked to performance of another, seemingly unrelated behavior. Using data from a longitudinal field experiment, this study investigates whether beginning to compost results in spillover to household waste prevention behaviors, including food, energy, and water waste prevention. In addition to covering intervention results, theoretical implications, and practical impacts, lessons learned for successful academia-practitioner relationships will be shared.

Transcript:
Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting. So many factors are at play. So, how can you make sure that you make a good sustainability decision? Like with many other things, tools and frameworks can be very helpful. Here are three strategic questions to help you make good sustainability decisions. We will go through them and apply them to a real life example. This is also part of the D step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous video.
Question number 1: Is it a move in the right direction? Is this decision going to take us closer to where we want to be? Closer to our vision? Here is an example: as it prepared to host the winter Olympic games in 2010, the town of Whistler (Canada) had to face an increasing energy demand. The heating needs had long been provided PRIMARILY by propane delivered by rail and trucks and distributed by pipes. Knowing that the existing propane system had reached its capacity, the municipality turned to natural gas provider Terasen Inc. for suggestions. Answering this first question, Whistler looked at the extent to which bringing a high-pressure natural gas pipeline (for a cost of approximatively 43 million dollars amortized over 50 years) would be aligned with their Whistler 2020 plan for a long term sustainable future, defined by the 4 system conditions for sustainability (watch the video linked and in the description for a reminder). Converting from propane to natural gas would provide a 15% reduction on greenhouse gas emissions which would also reduce contribution to the first and second system conditions. Natural gas can also be used for vehicles. Building the pipeline while building the road was an opportunity to limit the degradation of nature by physical means (third system condition). Terasen suggested a bigger, lower-pressure pipeline so it could be installed within the highway shoulder, saving costs while meeting the legal requirements and helping Whistler make sure that the project was well aligned with their social sustainability goals (fourth system condition). The revised project was going in the right direction according to the Whistler 2020 plan. It is important to have a robust and ambitious sustainability vision for this question to be a powerful way to make good sustainability decisions.”
Question number 2: Is it a flexible platform? We are not going to reach sustainability over night. When we take action, we need to make sure that we are not going to lock ourselves into a dead end. We need to make decisions that provide enough flexibility so we can build upon them and allow for future opportunities and technologies that might not be known yet. In the case of Whistler, natural gas being a fossil fuel and therefore a finite resource, they found that they didn’t want to lock themselves into a 50 years amortization period. They asked Terasen to revise their proposal. The revised project decreased the capacity of the pipeline by half and forced Whistler to make a conscious decision to look into alternative energy systems. They decided to put in place geothermal heating and to use natural gas only as a backup system to be used during peak hours.
Question number 3: Does it provide a good return on investment? It does not do anybody any good if an organization trying to become sustainable goes bankrupt. It is critical that every decision made provides a good return on investment. In the case of Whistler, going with a lower pressure pipeline and decreasing its capacity by half reduced the project cost by about 10 million dollars. This made it possible for Terasen to charge customers rates that were competitive with electricity while providing a good return of investment for Terasen and for the community of Whistler.

In this video, I present 3 strategic questions to help you make sustainability decision. Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting because so many factors are at play but tools and frameworks can be very helpful. This is part of the D-step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous videos.

It is critical that every decision made provides a good return on investment. In the case of Whistler, going with a lower pressure pipeline and decreasing its capacity by half reduced the project cost by about 10 million dollars. This made it possible for Terasen to charge customers rates that were competitive with electricity while providing a good return of investment for Terasen and for the community of Whistler.

Sustainable Nantucket is a forward-thinking non-profit organization that cultivates a healthy community—quite literally—for island residents. They aim to create an engaged local community because they know that leads directly to a healthy island economy. If you teach people how to grow food close to home, you create an island that isn’t as dependent on the mainland. That’s an island that can support itself by using its own farms, markets, and economy to motivate its own farms, markets and economy; creating a beautiful cycle of sustainability.

If you really want to be a prepper you better know how to raise, grow and harvest food and water. I thought a visit to a totally self sustaining farm [Early BirdFarm - HodgesCorner SC] would be the best way to prep in place. This is a farm that raises animals, grows crops in the grown, hydroponically, aquaponics, and has a method of harvesting all (animals and plants). PaulColeman owner of Early Bird Farm is an extremely interesting farmer and knowledgeable. He is giving classes at Cultivate in Greenville SC in March here is a link ( https://www.facebook.com/events/18409... ) to the schedule of events. The price is extremely affordable. If you want to learn how to be self sustainable this is where you should start. If you're going to do it (be self reliant) learn how to do it right! I am visiting people like Paul because I have a little mini farm (shown in the video) that I had closed down a couple of years ago....and am trying to get it back up and going. Love gardening, farming, raising animals and harvesting. You should know that this it is a lot of work but soooo rewarding!

When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact, over the course of the 20th century, our food system was co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, sustainably-produced food.
Fortunately for America, an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where a group of political anti-corporate protesters–led by Alice Waters–voiced their dissent by creating a food chain outside of the conventional system. The unintended result was the birth of a vital local-sustainable-organic food movement which has brought back taste and var...

Sustainable Business - Wealth from WasteDocumentary on how business is creating a circular economy
Businesses around the globe produce nearly as much waste as they do product -- almost 110 million tons annually in the US alone. Washington State spent more than 500 million dollars on waste disposal, recycling, and composting in 2009. But what is the real cost to business and the community?
"Unwasted" is a look at businesses and organizations in and around the Puget Sound who are leading the way toward a less wasteful, more profitable and environmentally sustainable society.
Did you know that a staggering 320 tons of gold and 7500 tons of silver are used in the production of PC's cell phone, tablets and other electronic devices each year. Eventually all of this will end up as waste add...

#12 Margaret Cooke - Sustainable buildings that work for everyone

Margaret Cooke is a Structural Engineer and Director at both IntegralEngineering Design and ModCell. Respectively, the two companies are at the cutting edge of building conservation, Margaret's particular area of interest, and sustainable construction, with a focus on helping the industry to rediscover traditional materials such as timber and straw bale. We discussed the benefits of using natural materials as alternatives to concrete and steel, Modcell's potential to incite change even as a small startup, and some borderline catastrophic situations involving pottery casts and church spires!

"Bounce Off - A debate on 'Is Sustainable Affordable? - Prelude to the 9th GRIHA Summit'"

Building sector is one of the largest energy consumers in India. The major consumption of Energy in buildings is during construction and later in lighting or air-conditioning systems. Buildings also accounts for 24% of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.
Sustainable construction is the method to minimize the harmful impact that buildings have on the environment. Such sustainably built green buildings are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient, right from location selection to the demolition after its lifecycle ends. A green building uses less energy, water and other natural resources creates less waste & GHG and is healthy for people living or working inside as compared to a conventional building.
In order to promote widespread construction of energy efficient/ green buildings i...

Lester R. Brown, a prominent environmentalist and founder of the Worldwatch Institute and Earth Policy Institute, describes sustainable living in the twenty-first century as "shifting to a renewable energy–based, reuse/recycle economy with a diversified transport system." In addition to this philosophy, practical eco-village builders like Living Villages maintain that the shift to renewable technologies will only be successful if the resultant built environment is attractive to a local culture and can be maintained and adapted as necessary over the generations.

FOOD FIGHT is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness.

Fortunately for America, an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where a group of political anti-corporate protesters–led by Alice Waters–voiced their dissent by creating a food chain outside of the conventional system. The unintended result was the birth of a vital local-sustainable-organic food movement which has brought back taste and variety to our tables.
FOOD FIGHT is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness.

Sustainable Business - Wealth from WasteDocumentary on how business is creating a circular economy
Businesses around the globe produce nearly as much waste as they do product -- almost 110 million tons annually in the US alone. Washington State spent more than 500 million dollars on waste disposal, recycling, and composting in 2009. But what is the real cost to business and the community?
"Unwasted" is a look at businesses and organizations in and around the Puget Sound who are leading the way toward a less wasteful, more profitable and environmentally sustainable society.
Did you know that a staggering 320 tons of gold and 7500 tons of silver are used in the production of PC's cell phone, tablets and other electronic devices each year. Eventually all of this will end up as waste adding $21 billion of value to urban mining deposits every year.
This e-waste is a massive business opportunity with the amount of gold used each year the equivalent of 2.5% of the US gold reserves in the vaults of both Fort Knox, Kentucky, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
In a world increasingly addressing issues of sustainability, it’s no wonder that such waste products are now being seen as urban mines – valuable sources of above-ground metals which can be recycled and reused.
That is the concept of the “circular economy”.
There is already some extensive recycling activity worldwide, helped by schemes such as the Product Stewardship framework which encourages people to reduce waste.
But we still lose significant amounts of valuable and recyclable materials into landfill and park valuable metals in tailings and spoil heaps.
Are we on the cusp of an urban mining revolution?
Globally, there is already growing capacity and innovation in recycling.
New forms of manufacturing and business models are being developed that integrate secondary manufacturing of recycled materials.
We can’t keep relying solely on our raw mineral resources. Some commentators are now discussing materials scarcity as a bigger issue than energy scarcity.
This scarcity is driving a move towards a circular economy – one in which the value created by inputs (materials, energy and labour) is extended by enabling a material life that goes beyond product life. So we go from mineral to metal, to product, back to metal and so on.

Building sector is one of the largest energy consumers in India. The major consumption of Energy in buildings is during construction and later in lighting or air-conditioning systems. Buildings also accounts for 24% of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.
Sustainable construction is the method to minimize the harmful impact that buildings have on the environment. Such sustainably built green buildings are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient, right from location selection to the demolition after its lifecycle ends. A green building uses less energy, water and other natural resources creates less waste & GHG and is healthy for people living or working inside as compared to a conventional building.
In order to promote widespread construction of energy efficient/ green buildings in the country, the Government has initiated various schemes and policies. Though the technology for construction of sustainable building is readily available there is a perception that sustainability comes at a cost.
'BounceOff' had a panel of 6 eminent personalities who would deliberate on "Is Sustainable is Affordable?" The panel is a blend of architects, real estate experts, environmentalist and developers.
The debate was moderated by Anisha Nayar Dhawan Zee Business.

Jeff Raymond is developing sustainable agriculture that can be employed anywhere on the planet, including Antarctica, so it had to be able to withstand extreme winds, snow loading, and the months of darkness that are found in extreme northern and southern latitudes we started looking at how we could produce energy locally and integrate it into this system by using a biogas digester, which takes organic matter and breaks it down, turning it into methane as well as a substance called digestate, which is a liquid fertilizer that can be cycled back into our aquaponics system.
Raymond and his wife began constructing the massive habitat (it measures 80 feet long by 40 feet wide by 22 feet tall) last May and began initial operations in September. There is this really big population problem on the horizon, and some reports say that by the year 2050 there's going to be 9.5 billion people on the planet. In order to feed all those people, we're going to have to increase agricultural production by over 75 percent from today. The best we can do, based on current projections, is 33 percent.

2017 is the UN’s International Year of Sustainable Development through Tourism, the spotlight is going to be shone on the industry’s contribution to sustainable development in destinations. Businesses in the sector, in originating markets and destinations, often talk about the contribution that the industry makes to development in destinations. But when the spotlight is shone what evidence will we have to share with the UN and other sectors? How convincing is our case? What evidence can we provide that out contribution is real and significant?

Transcript:
Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting. So many factors are at play. So, how can you make sure that you make a good sustainability decision? Like with many other things, tools and frameworks can be very helpful. Here are three strategic questions to help you make good sustainability decisions. We will go through them and apply them to a real life example. This is also part of the D step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous video.
Question number 1: Is it a move in the right direction? Is this decision going to take us closer to where we want to be? Closer to our vision? Here is an example: as it prepared to host the winter Olympic games in 2010, the town of Whistler (Canada) had to face an increasing energy demand. The heating needs had long been provided PRIMARILY by propane delivered by rail and trucks and distributed by pipes. Knowing that the existing propane system had reached its capacity, the municipality turned to natural gas provider Terasen Inc. for suggestions. Answering this first question, Whistler looked at the extent to which bringing a high-pressure natural gas pipeline (for a cost of approximatively 43 million dollars amortized over 50 years) would be aligned with their Whistler 2020 plan for a long term sustainable future, defined by the 4 system conditions for sustainability (watch the video linked and in the description for a reminder). Converting from propane to natural gas would provide a 15% reduction on greenhouse gas emissions which would also reduce contribution to the first and second system conditions. Natural gas can also be used for vehicles. Building the pipeline while building the road was an opportunity to limit the degradation of nature by physical means (third system condition). Terasen suggested a bigger, lower-pressure pipeline so it could be installed within the highway shoulder, saving costs while meeting the legal requirements and helping Whistler make sure that the project was well aligned with their social sustainability goals (fourth system condition). The revised project was going in the right direction according to the Whistler 2020 plan. It is important to have a robust and ambitious sustainability vision for this question to be a powerful way to make good sustainability decisions.”
Question number 2: Is it a flexible platform? We are not going to reach sustainability over night. When we take action, we need to make sure that we are not going to lock ourselves into a dead end. We need to make decisions that provide enough flexibility so we can build upon them and allow for future opportunities and technologies that might not be known yet. In the case of Whistler, natural gas being a fossil fuel and therefore a finite resource, they found that they didn’t want to lock themselves into a 50 years amortization period. They asked Terasen to revise their proposal. The revised project decreased the capacity of the pipeline by half and forced Whistler to make a conscious decision to look into alternative energy systems. They decided to put in place geothermal heating and to use natural gas only as a backup system to be used during peak hours.
Question number 3: Does it provide a good return on investment? It does not do anybody any good if an organization trying to become sustainable goes bankrupt. It is critical that every decision made provides a good return on investment. In the case of Whistler, going with a lower pressure pipeline and decreasing its capacity by half reduced the project cost by about 10 million dollars. This made it possible for Terasen to charge customers rates that were competitive with electricity while providing a good return of investment for Terasen and for the community of Whistler.

Spindrift - Real Partnerships: Sustainable Nantucket

Sustainable Nantucket is a forward-thinking non-profit organization that cultivates a healthy community—quite literally—for island residents. They aim to create an engaged local community because they know that leads directly to a healthy island economy. If you teach people how to grow food close to home, you create an island that isn’t as dependent on the mainland. That’s an island that can support itself by using its own farms, markets, and economy to motivate its own farms, markets and economy; creating a beautiful cycle of sustainability.

Sustainable development is the organizing principle for sustaining finite resources necessary to provide for the needs of future generations of life on the planet. It is a process that envisions a desirable future state for human societies in which living conditions and resource-use continue to meet human needs without undermining the "integrity, stability and beauty" of natural biotic systems.

Definition

Sustainability can be defined as the practice of reserving resources for future generation without any harm to the nature and other components of it . Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social, political, and economic challenges faced by humanity. Sustainability science is the study of the concepts of sustainable development and environmental science. There is an additional focus on the present generations' responsibility to regenerate, maintain and improve planetary resources for use by future generations.

Abstract: Collaborations between academics and practitioners can bring rich opportunities to concurrently advance theory and make practical impacts. However, numerous well-documented barriers hinder such collaborations, yielding limited examples of success and a need for lessons learned to guide future efforts. This talk will cover several collaborative studies in which academics and practitioners teamed up to successfully design and deliver interventions aimed at promoting sustainable behavior in residential settings. Findings advance theory and have practical implications. For instance, one study leveraged smart grid infrastructure as part of an energy reduction intervention. It explores whether a competition-based intervention fosters group cohesion in a group residential setting, as well as the influence of changes in group cohesion on energy conservation behaviors. Another study focuses on behavioral spillover, or the phenomenon observed when engaging in an initial target behavior, often the target of a behavioral intervention, is linked to performance of another, seemingly unrelated behavior. Using data from a longitudinal field experiment, this study investigates whether beginning to compost results in spillover to household waste prevention behaviors, including food, energy, and water waste prevention. In addition to covering intervention results, theoretical implications, and practical impacts, lessons learned for successful academia-practitioner relationships will be shared.
Bio: Dr. Nicole Sintov is Assistant Professor of Behavior, Decision-Making, and Sustainability in the School of Environment and Natural Resources. She is also an OSU Sustainable and Resilient Economies DiscoveryTheme affiliate. As an environmental psychologist, her work focuses on designing and evaluating interventions aimed at encouraging pro-environmental behavior. Additionally, she investigates psychosocial processes of change that occur during behavioral interventions to uncover truths about more than just which behaviors change, but also how and why such changes occur. She pursues these objectives as they pertain to a variety of domain areas, including building energy use, sustainable technology adoption, and the food-energy-water nexus. Her work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, Los AngelesDepartment of Water and Power, World Wildlife Fund, and US ArmyResearchOffice. She holds a B.S. in Psychology / Ecology from the University of California, San Diego, and a Master's in Psychology, graduate certificate in Sustainable Cities, and Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Southern California.

What Christmas Tree is More Sustainable?

Which tree is more eco friendly? Which tree is better for the environment?
According to the National Christmas Tree Association last year 27.4 million American households went for real trees and 18.6 million went for fake.
Environmental reasons are often mentioned as reason to pick a reusable Christmas tree over chopping down a real one, but the reality isn’t so clear.
So the question remains, which Christmas tree is the better option?
In this video, we will discuss the environmental concerns of a real tree, as well as the inputs required for a fake (artificial) Christmas tree.
LMK - which one would you choose?

3 questions to make sustainable decisions (real life example)

In this video, I present 3 strategic questions to help you make sustainability decision. Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting because so many factors are at play but tools and frameworks can be very helpful. This is part of the D-step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous videos.

Transcript:
Decision making for socio-ecological sustainability can seem complex and daunting. So many factors are at play. So, how can you make sure that you make a good sustainability decision? Like with many other things, tools and frameworks can be very helpful. Here are three strategic questions to help you make good sustainability decisions. We will go through them and apply them to a real life example. This is also part of the D step of the ABCD methodology presented in a previous video.
Question number 1: Is it a move in the right direction? Is this decision going to take us closer to where we want to be? Closer to our vision? Here is an example: as it prepared to host the winter Olympic games in 2010, the town of Whistler (Canada) had to face an increasing energy demand. The heating needs had long been provided PRIMARILY by propane delivered by rail and trucks and distributed by pipes. Knowing that the existing propane system had reached its capacity, the municipality turned to natural gas provider Terasen Inc. for suggestions. Answering this first question, Whistler looked at the extent to which bringing a high-pressure natural gas pipeline (for a cost of approximatively 43 million dollars amortized over 50 years) would be aligned with their Whistler 2020 plan for a long term sustainable future, defined by the 4 system conditions for sustainability (watch the video linked and in the description for a reminder). Converting from propane to natural gas would provide a 15% reduction on greenhouse gas emissions which would also reduce contribution to the first and second system conditions. Natural gas can also be used for vehicles. Building the pipeline while building the road was an opportunity to limit the degradation of nature by physical means (third system condition). Terasen suggested a bigger, lower-pressure pipeline so it could be installed within the highway shoulder, saving costs while meeting the legal requirements and helping Whistler make sure that the project was well aligned with their social sustainability goals (fourth system condition). The revised project was going in the right direction according to the Whistler 2020 plan. It is important to have a robust and ambitious sustainability vision for this question to be a powerful way to make good sustainability decisions.”
Question number 2: Is it a flexible platform? We are not going to reach sustainability over night. When we take action, we need to make sure that we are not going to lock ourselves into a dead end. We need to make decisions that provide enough flexibility so we can build upon them and allow for future opportunities and technologies that might not be known yet. In the case of Whistler, natural gas being a fossil fuel and therefore a finite resource, they found that they didn’t want to lock themselves into a 50 years amortization period. They asked Terasen to revise their proposal. The revised project decreased the capacity of the pipeline by half and forced Whistler to make a conscious decision to look into alternative energy systems. They decided to put in place geothermal heating and to use natural gas only as a backup system to be used during peak hours.
Question number 3: Does it provide a good return on investment? It does not do anybody any good if an organization trying to become sustainable goes bankrupt. It is critical that every decision made provides a good return on investment. In the case of Whistler, going with a lower pressure pipeline and decreasing its capacity by half reduced the project cost by about 10 million dollars. This made it possible for Terasen to charge customers rates that were competitive with electricity while providing a good return of investment for Terasen and for the community of Whistler.

Life Is Good : Sustainable Living (National Geographic Documentary)

Life Is Good : Sustainable Living (National GeographicDocumentary)
Sustainable living is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual's or society's use of the Earth's natural resources and personal resources. Practitioners of sustainable living often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption, and diet. Proponents of sustainable living aim to conduct their lives in ways that are consistent with sustainability, in natural balance and respectful of humanity's symbiotic relationship with the Earth's natural ecology and cycles. The practice and general philosophy of ecological living is highly interrelated with the overall principles of sustainable development.
Lester R. Brown, a prominent environmentalist and founder of the Worldwatch Institute and Earth Policy Institute, describes sustainable living in the twenty-first century as "shifting to a renewable energy–based, reuse/recycle economy with a diversified transport system." In addition to this philosophy, practical eco-village builders like Living Villages maintain that the shift to renewable technologies will only be successful if the resultant built environment is attractive to a local culture and can be maintained and adapted as necessary over the generations.

When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact, over the course of the 20th century, our food system was co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, sustainably-produced food.
Fortunately for America, an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of
